Unique selection of seven different European ashtrays, perfect for any collector. Majority of the selection appears to be of a porcelain base material but at least one is of a ceramic make. It appears that the ashtrays are of a mid-century design (roughly from the 50’s to 70’s) and focus on hotel entities or other fancy establishments. Selection includes: - “Le Méridien Grand Hotel Nürnberg” Nuremberg, Germany - “Ireland” (no listed hotel) - “Villa d'Este” Cernobbio, Italy - “Le Richemond” Geneva, Switzerland - “Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten” Hamburg Germany - “Hotel Marhaba” Casablanca, Morocco - “Harry’s Bar” Venice, Italy A unique note on the “Harry’s Bar” piece is that it was an infamous location where personalities such as Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles frequently spent their afternoons. It also was birthplace of the Bellini and Carpaccio. Ashtrays (or dishes) measure out to about 4” to 4.5” in length. All appear to be in great condition, free of any chips, cracks, or blemishes based on general overview. The single exception is that the “Harry’s Bar” ashtray has a minor crack below to surface glaze. The crack does not go all the way through, appears to be very shallow.
